      J Rod to Jota?

    Zaha to Grealish or Jota?

      G

    2. Aussie Rules
      • 13 Years

      Zaha. Grealish should be alright over the next block of fixtures

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He’s selling Zaha

        1. Aussie Rules
          • 13 Years

          Yep misread this originally - get Grealish

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Grealish

    Kane -----> ______ ???

    A) Vardy
    B) KDB (-4)

    1. 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bale or Moura should play to the right of Kane.

      That said, A

  5. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    who to lose for vardy, werner or kane? thanks.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Werner

    2. 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not Kane.

      That said, Werner

    3. mash
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same dilemma! At present, I'll be doing Werner to Vardy, but it's a very close one between the two.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      thanks guys. was set on werner so will go for it. had him since gw1 and time to say bye bye

    Sterling - 4.7% ownership
    KDB - 18%

    The attraction of a differential.............

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty low for KDB still

    2. 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The attraction of an extra couple of periods, imo
      That said, ....................

  7. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just brought in Nkounkou for Branthwaite,

    Which defender to bench?

    A. Dallas (eve)
    B. Lewis (cpl)
    C. Nkounkou (LEE)

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dallas

    2. saint4life
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lewis.

      Maybe Dallas if you have DCL though as it’s close

      1. Bob B
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        DCL and Bamford, unfortunately 🙂

    3. Feed tha Sheep
      • 13 Years

      Is C expected to start?

      1. Bob B
        • 12 Years

        Yes

    4. FourLokoLeipzig

    Bottomed last page

    Dallas & bissouma > Williams & foden -4?

    Soucek first bench

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      No way

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        No city players without...

        Can’t get kdb without moving on mane, Vardy, Kane or bruno

  9. Fletch365
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes here?
    Was considering Werner > Vardy (-4)

    McCarthy
    Chilwell-Justin-Bellerin
    Bruno-Son-Salah-Grealish
    Werner-DCL-Bamford

    Nyland-Mitchell-Taylor-Biss

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      unless captaining Vardy I would save.
      he'd have to score 2 more goals than Werner to be worth it essentially

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not necessarily so. 1 more goal covers it and would probably guarantee max bonus in that case too. a -4 for Vardy is not a bad option.................And I have done it too:).

  10. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilly, Justin
    Bruno, Ziyech, Jota, Grealish
    Werner, DCL

    Need to play one of Mitro or Saint-Maximim (or Targett, KWP)

    Thoughts?

    Also can do Ziyech > KDB (4.1 itb) for a -4...leaning yes to avoid triple Chelsea and also to captain KDB.

  11. mash
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Justin KWP
    Fernandes Son Grealish Podence
    Kane Werner DCL

    Steer Bissouma Davies Taylor

    1FT, £2.2m in the bank

    What do you think is best out of these options?

    A) Werner to Vardy
    B) Kane to Vardy
    C) Fernandes to KDB
    D) Podence to Jota

    0.1 short of Son to KDB unfortunately!

    A is what I'll do at the moment, though it makes things difficult for getting Salah back or City attackers in, as I'd like. I do still have WC available, but want to save it for the xmas fixtures if possible.

  12. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jota will probably play as a ST in a 4-2-3-1 formation vs Brighton.
    Jump on to get him(kneejerking?) or wait for my boy Rodriguez to reward me?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      wait james has a nice fixture

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        he's been real out of sorts lately though. someone was talking about Leeds likely man-marking him out of the game.
        I made this exact move so i'm biased into hoping it works

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          should say the downgrade will facilitate getting KDB for Ziyech too.

  13. Tross007
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who to ditch for KDB:

    A) Son
    B) Mane

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B and bring Salah in gw12 perhaps

    3. 1984 TC
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I want Mane’s points all for myself.

      That said, not A

  14. George James
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best option

    A) Werner / Vardy / Son / Reece James

    B) Vardy / Kane / Son / Soucek -4

    C) Vardy / Kane / Jota / Reece James -4

  15. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Salah or KDB? Planned to bring in KDB but part of me thinks bringing back Salah might be a better option with City not firing.

    Alternatively is selling Son to get both for a hit worth it?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      kdb for next 2 then salah v fulham imo

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hold IMO

    3. fn.jota
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      For me salah is uncertain at the moment because he didnt play well yesterday. This gameweek KDB but id look bring in salah in gw12

    4. Max City
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      people say Salah's performance on Atalanta game was poor

  16. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Dallas
    Fernandes Son JamesR Grealish Foden
    DCL Kane

    Forster Brewster Saiss Ferguson

    2 FT, 1.5 itb

    What to do here...

    1. Foden Kane >> Jota Vardy
    2. Saiss Kane >> Cancelo / Dias Vardy

    Thanks!

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Definitely 2

  17. stu92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Robbo - Zouma - Targett
    Son - Bruno - Jrod - Barkley
    Vardy - DCL - Adams
    (4.0 - Barkley - Kilman - Lamptey)

    A) Jrod > KDB (-4)
    B) Target > Dias/Cancelo (-4)
    C) Barkley > Grealish (-4)
    D) Stick

    1. FCSB
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A or D

  18. Bale11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on how to upgrade team? I have 4.4m in the bank and one free transfer.
    Thinking James to KDB which gives me .5 left but really unsure what to do.

    McCarthy
    Justin-Chillwell-KWP
    Grealish-Fernandes-Son-Rodriguez
    DCL-Watkins-Kane

    Lamptey, Mitchell, Bissouma

    1. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      KDB sounds good.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could split the 4.4 to upgrade to a premium defender and then Bissouma to Jota (or something like that).

    3. Bale11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks

  19. xRedArrow
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    In all the content (written and audio) I've never heard Walker (6.1) mentioned as a pick. Given we all have accepted Cancelo is a rotation risk and I personally prefer Walker (who is nailed w rest midweek) over Dias/Laporte.

    Thoughts?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      maybe his price put folks off. nice pick imo

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Bit spenny

  20. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    bowen owners, keeping one more week?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Doubt there's many of us still with Bowen! Want to get rid but at that price there's little else or interest. Unless Jota is your guy...

    2. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, still got him. Keeping this week before he becomes Jots, nice Monday-night sign-off with a goal. No sweat.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      thanks all and gl

  21. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Why are a lot of people getting rid of Kane when he has returns in every GW except GW1? He has the highest points total joint with Son.

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Tough fixtures, plus easy fixtures for Vardy.
      It's not like people went crazy. There is some logic behind.

    2. Max City
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      would you keep Kane if you didn't have any City attacker?

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy at home to Fulham.

    4. Couch Potato
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've done Kane => Vardy (capt) for free this week, purely because of the respective fixtures.

      I'm well aware it could come back to bite me though!

    5. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      His returns and stats have lessened in the last 4 games and if you watched the city game you’ll see that for the majority of it he is not as far forward as son and did not have many shots, he’ll be more likely to haul against the small teams but will still score points

    6. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fair enough Gents but be prepared to get bitten in the backside if Vardy doesn't haul!

  22. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nicely rested Kane and Son vs tired old Chelsea. Yes please.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Plenty of rest for Chelsea.

  23. Mile Plankton
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Laporte a good pick? Nailed on?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      should be yes, very nice pick imo

  24. Max City
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    any thoughts about Bamford?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Great player loves by his manager.

  25. FourLokoLeipzig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Would you start Brewster or Targett this week? I also have Martinez so the latter would be a Villa double-up

  26. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hello

    Midnight dilemma:

    My first transfer being Werner to Vardy (c), would you drop 4 pts for Zaha to Jota?

    Alternative is to save 4pts and field Dallas vs Eve and have no bench (zaha mitchell alzate).

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Play Dallas. He’s impressive.

  27. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dallas is my 4th defender (so mostly first or second sub with Brewster) based on that bench, should I do Saiss >>

    1. Cancelo
    2. Dias

    Thanks

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      what's the difference between the two?

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Dias perhaps a little more nailed, Cancelo a bit more attacking threat...

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo

  28. George James
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Repost. Sorry

    Best option

    A) Werner / Vardy / Son / Reece James

    B) Vardy / Kane / Son / Soucek -4

    C) Vardy / Kane / Jota / Reece James -4

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A

  29. Kevtheotter
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys quick one for you

    A) Robertson and Jota
    B) Robertson and Torres
    C) Vardy and Diaz/Cancelo -4

    Will be switching from 3-5-2 to 3-4-3 if C

    Cheers

    Would you take a hit on Jrod to KDB to avoid his price drop tonight? That 0.1 could become an issue in a few weeks..

    1. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I do t make transfer until Friday and especially this season

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        it is Friday
